Most bachelor parties are hazy memories of booze-addled debauchery. But one group of guys stumbled onto something lasting longer than a hangover. The men were hiking through Elephant Butte State Park near Albuquerque, New Mexico, when they saw a large object protruding from the ground. They dug further and discovered what was later identified as a 3 million-year-old stegomastodon skull, and quickly snapped a few photos, which they sent to the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science in Albuquerque.
